Show all tasks together

With the former task function in outlook it was possible to see all task together in one list and filter them, also they were in different folders and list. 

 

If I have different list or groups in to do, it's not possible to show them all together in an overview/list. 

 

Is there any possibility I don't know? 

  • Hi LemRoman,

    you can view all your tasks in Microsoft To Do, even if they are spread across different lists or groups.

    One way to do this is by enabling the "All" option in the Smart lists section of the To Do Settings. This will generate an "All" list consolidating tasks from all your lists:

    1. Go to settings (gear symbol) > "To Do Settings" > Scroll down to "Smart lists"

    2. Then enable "All"

    In your To Do Lists view an "All" list will appear, with all tasks in it.

      LeonPavesic Am out of my mind, or does the "All" tasks view on the PC group the all tasks by folders?

       

      This is extremely hard for me to understand because it seems to defeat the entire purpose of the All tasks view.

       

      To expand (pardon the pun) the standard view shows a folder hierarchy in the left column. You can select a folder and see the tasks in it. My goal in going to an "All" view would be to see the most recently created tasks regardless of folder location which is not possible as implemented.

       

      An "All" view that shows all tasks in the right area, but nonetheless grouped by tasks folders solves no problems.

       

      What am I missing?
